    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology
    • Pain Management
    • Surgical Nursing

    Background:

    • Current postoperative pain management relies on intermittent drug administration.
    • Patient-controlled analgesia is often reactive, administered only upon request.
    • Existing methods are considered unsatisfactory for optimal pain relief.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a novel procedure for continuous pethidine infusion for postoperative analgesia.
    • To evaluate the efficacy and efficiency of this new method compared to existing practices.
    • To develop a protocol manageable by nursing staff.

    Main Methods:

    • A continuous infusion technique using pethidine was developed.
    • The procedure was designed for safe administration and control by nurses.

  • A trial was conducted on patients following major surgical procedures.

    • Main Results:

    • The continuous infusion method was successfully implemented and managed by nursing staff.
    • Preliminary results indicate improved pain control compared to intermittent methods.
    • The procedure demonstrated efficiency in managing postoperative pain.

    Conclusions:

    • Continuous pethidine infusion represents a more effective and efficient approach to postoperative analgesia.
    • The described procedure is suitable for routine use by nursing staff.
    • This method offers a significant improvement over traditional intermittent analgesia strategies.
